Abstract:
The term "superbugs" refers to microbes with resistance to almost all antibiotics specifically recommended for the treatment. The superbugs disseminating worldwide included methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus ; vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ; vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus ;carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacillus. Due to abuse of antibiotics, novel "superbug"emerged gradually, which demands optimizing antibiotic use, reinforcing surveillance of "superbugs" as well as nosocomial infection control.
